Why did Kendrick play it safe with " We hate Po Po" line in Grammy performance?

[Kaypain]

i'm not but Kendrick's got a long way to go to be mentioned with Pac's name

There will never be another Pac or anyone close to it

 

[IWunD3r]

no, but Pac was really out there.

Pac was groomed to be out there.
His mom was a political refugee running from the feds, state to state before succumbing to drugs.
His god father and step father are political prisoners. His Pops was a panther. His step aunt is in political asylum in Cuba....
What the fukk Pac was gonna be? an anchor at Fox News?



I say The working class Duckworths did well, with how Cornrow Kenny turned out.

The Coli yesterday: We don't care about no gotdamn Grammys, nikka.

well he died for this shyt so there it is he was always a target

 

[Calmye]

Then why perform that song? Just do another one

because he wrote the damn song and wanted to perform it. Y'all nikkas man

 

[Izanami]

Upon further review I can't hate on Kendrick THAT much, since he performed blacker the berry and that new verse.

 

[SirBiatch]

nikka the issue is about being Black in AMERICA, and it damn sure aint applicable to you. We don't see in the other threads nikka. Aint nobody worried about what some crusty ass gopher looking nikka from London or wherever the fukk you from got to say

Not applicable to me when I have family members, cousins and close friends living in the US? I've probably seen more of the US than you have

Keep it real: you don't even know nor care about being Black in America. You just care about slurping Kendrick regardless of circumstance. A fraud poster covering up for King Fraud.

Keep at it. shyt's humorous

Pac Died for picking up gang banging at 25...

nah it was deeper than that, he was speaking up about the higher ups and got set up for that shyt. that was just part of it. Pac was becoming too powerful so they had to silent him.

That nikka died over a chain

That nikka died over a chain

he made a bad decision signing with Death Row cause it was gang related, he needed protection.

He signed with Deathrow cause Suge bailed him outta jail...

If anybody was a snake it was Pac... Biggie pulled Pac to the side and warned Pac multiple times to stay away from said dudes. Instead of Pac finally taking heed, what Pac do?
Pac ran and told said dudes, that Biggie told him to stay away from them...
The same nikkas set him up.
Big went and saw him at the hospital.
What did Pac do?
"Biggie set me up "

As a rapper, Pac was that nikka..
as a person, corn row Kenny is way more consistent. Kenny isn't docile. he's level headed. Kenny is more mature then Pac ever was.
Pac was out here racking up cases and lawsuits, bragging about it... shyt is stupid on so many levels.

Pac was more dynamic and more outspoken yet, he would turn around and contradict w/e he just did and said.
Kenny has been consistent till day one.

You running with the Lil Shawn narrative, huh?

OF course Kenny's going to be consistent and non contradictive.That's his whole purpose of being in the spotlight.He's a safe/psuedo "pro black"/artsy fartsy ass dude.

We all have our own perspective/way that way judge character.If Kendrick's your boy, I respect that.


I just see him as a generic pacify.It's watered down now.


The system will force a young nicca to contradict himself.You're blessed if you never have to.Exceptional, really.Especially back in Pac's era.Those were the children of true revolutionaries who had to find a way to make it outta the crack infested/gang epidemic of the 1980's.It was a different breed/different mentality back then.They were more hardened/agressive.Still had some claws & teeth left.

So, at the end of the day, I suppose I can't blame Kendrick.He was given this world, he didn't make it.He's not to blame for niccaz not being as thorough as they used to be.

I saw articles saying that CBS edited it out? Is this true?

 

[call_me_step_daddy]

he wouldve made a real statement by saying that line & then start rapping over NWA "fukk the police" track..now that shyt wouldve been dope..

i didnt even understand half of wtf he was talkin bout during that performance anyway, and im pretty sure cacs only saw a lil amped up black kid rappin fast too
